Sportfreunde Stiller

Sportfreunde Stiller is a German indie rock band from Germering, near Munich, in Bavaria. The band was founded in 1996 by Peter "Balboa" Brugger, Florian "Rakete" Weber, and Rüdiger "Rüde" Linhof. They took their original name, Stiller, from their former football manager, Hans Stiller, at SV Germering. They later changed their name because a different band called Stiller owned the rights to this name. The term Sportfreunde literally translates to friends in sports and is also used in names of sports clubs. Sportfreunde Stiller's track "Independent" from Die gute Seite was featured in the video game FIFA 2003. In 2006 the band wrote "'54, '74, '90, 2006", a fan hymn for the German World Cup squad which became a number one hit in Germany; the song commemorates West German championships in the 1954, 1974, and 1990 World Cups. After Germany lost in the semi-final against Italy on July 4, 2006, the song was reworked as "'54, '74, '90, 2010" in anticipation of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Sportfreunde Stiller were nominated five times for Best German Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards, in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2009.
